Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them

“General, I… I wasn’t an orphan after all. I have family. This jade pendant was just given to me by Mother Yang. She said it was something I carried with me when I was little… when I was little.”

Liang Qiuli didn't mind Lu Jingyan's suspicion and distrust of her; on the contrary, she felt she could use it to make Lu Jingyan feel guilty, pity her, and fall in love with her.

She pressed herself against Lu Jingyan, her voice trembling, and as she spoke, her tone became choked with emotion, eventually turning into a sob.

Lu Jingyan's heart tightened suddenly. He felt the warmth and moisture coming from his chest, and the helplessness he felt made his heart ache.

He unconsciously wrapped his arms around Liang Qiuli, pulling her into his embrace to comfort her.

Lu Jingyan thought back to his unfounded speculation about Liang Qiuli, and a feeling of indescribable regret welled up in his heart.

Lili was right not to accept that he was not worthy of her wholehearted love.

"I will help Lili find her family, and from now on I will be Lili's family. I will never let Lili suffer any more grievances."

Although Liang Qiuli was unaware of his suspicions towards her, Lu Jingyan still made many promises in an attempt to make up for his guilt.

……

The capital city, the Zhao residence.

"Miss, news has come back from Yangzhou."

A maidservant, clutching a letter tightly in her hand, hurriedly pushed open the door with an anxious expression.

Zhao Yaoyao, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, was sitting by the window when she heard the word "Yangzhou" and immediately turned her head to look.

"Bring it here quickly."

Zhao Yaoyao's tone was filled with urgency and anticipation as she took the letter from the maid and opened it.

As he looked at it, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

She didn't waste her money. That bitch Liang Qiuli is dead. Even if Brother Xin still has feelings for her, what's the use? A dead person can't compete with her.

Moreover, her uncle will be back soon, and when he returns, she will go to him to find a good job for her brother Xin.

Whether Fu Xinhan truly loves her or is after power, she is the only one he can have!

Fearing that Fu Xinhan might discover something when he returned that night, Zhao Yaoyao burned the letter to ashes on the candlestick before leisurely instructing the maid beside her.

"Have someone stand guard at the entrance of the General's residence. As soon as the General returns to the capital, come and inform him that I want to see my uncle immediately."

"Yes, by the way, Miss, the person who sent the message also said that they suffered heavy losses in handling this matter and need more money, otherwise... they... they..."

The maid dared to mention the extra fee only when she saw that her mistress was happy, for fear of incurring bad luck.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yaoyao frowned slightly. If he asked for more money, she would have to give away all her savings.

But this matter cannot be known to Brother Xin or Uncle, so the only option is to cut off a piece of flesh.

"Take the money, but make sure they do a good job of cleaning up the mess and don't let anyone find out."

Zhao Yaoyao took out a stack of silver notes from the box and handed them to the maid with a look of heartache in her eyes.

However, she then remembered that her uncle had returned to the capital, and she could choose whatever she wanted from the General's Mansion's storeroom. She secretly pondered what to take this time, and Zhao Yaoyao's expression softened slightly.

One month later.

A carriage, which had set off from Yangzhou, slowly made its way into the capital through the east gate, stopping and starting along the way.

"Lili, I need to go to the palace. You go back to the General's Mansion first. If anyone bullies you..."

Although he had already made arrangements at the manor, Lu Jingyan was still worried. He held Liang Qiuli's hand and kept giving her instructions.
